Yeah, that's what I thought after watching that vid. I go to World Street Nationals every year and see cars trapping 6's / low 7's. Ironically I've yet to see Millen's mustang yet in person which I would love since he's one of my favorites :)

I didn't see it. It was on a forum I was on years ago and I just sorta uploaded videos I thought the internet had lost as I seemed to have a longer version than the others on YouTube. All I know is that it was in Raleigh NC.

That's in kilometers, not miles :v: Only about 150 mph. Not that the car will run much longer with the driver going way past the redline like that.

Given that it's a built engine I doubt the stock redline is terribly relevant. It's idling at 1500rpm :coal:

Oh yeah I see now, it's taking a whole 5 seconds to get to 60mph and 35 seconds to get to 150mph, I've seen schoolbuses outperform that thing. Oh by the way someone tell him that he has a wicked exhaust leak, probably why the check engine light is on.

Launch #2 is confusing as gently caress to me.

First they go from 0 to 45, then 45 to ~38, then they almost instantly hit 70. Then it stays at 70, then the last gear drops the rpms in half as it hits.

For the first part they spun in first (or second depending on gearing) up to 45 then caught traction so it was actually going 38. Spun all through the next gear, caught traction in 3rd(4th?) and kept going.

That bypass valve on that supercharger is loud as gently caress. I couldn't ever hear the one on my Novi 1K.

And then there's the question of street legal in what country. I'm sure there are some 3rd world countries where top fuel dragster could be street legal. On the other end is Finland where you could only increase the engine power by 20% or so, IIRC. If you want to turbocharge a V8 you have to model the intake after a straw for the dyno inspection.

Erlkonig should mean "demonstrator" or "prototype". Maybe someone with a better grasp on German could clarify.

Erlkönig means Elf-King, and is the name of a Goethe poem. That's all I knew until a quick google revealed that apparently it now also means some class of prototype or something. Or maybe just prototype.

EDIT: in the poem, the Elf-King basically takes a farmer's kid's soul while the farmer's trying to get his sick kid help. I have no idea what this has to do with cars.

It is called Erlkönig since July 1952, when the German magazine "Auto, Motor und Sport" decided to publish an amateur picture of a Mercedes-Benz 180 prototype. The heading was "Erlkönig", and the accompanying text was a version of Goethe's poem, rewritten to be related to cars instead of the horse the father was riding on.
